Non-destructive X-ray computed tomography (X-ray CT scanning) is a powerful technique for characterizing the morphology in structural materials as used in medical field. This X-ray CT scanning technique was developed for the purpose of post irradiation examinations (PIE), and applied to the fuel assemblies irradiated in the experimental fast reactor Joyo.
